This unit will give you many years of reliable service if you follow the simple operation and maintenance procedures in this manual. Contained in this manual are the general installation, operation, and maintenance procedures for the universal fryer Models 7, 12, 14, & 18. This information covers both units with built-in filters and Under Fryer Manual (UFM) filter. WHICH FRYER DO I HAVE? There are many models and options available for the gas fryer, each with its own model number. To find out which model you have, look inside the door at the equipmentdata Plate. This Data Plate contains the following information: Model Number, Serial Number, BTU Rating, Gas Type, Gas Pressure Rquirements and Voltage Requirements. CHECKING YOUR NEW FRYER. Your new fryer and it's filter (where applicable) have been carefully packed. If a UFM style filter has been shipped to you it will be packed in a separate box and strapped to the top of the fryer crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that your fryer will be delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new fryer, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately, the shipper is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your fryer to ensure that you have received all of the parts to the fryer. If you are missing any parts, contact the DEALER from whom the fryer was purchased. As you unpack the fryer and it's accessories be careful to keep the weight of the fryer evenly distributed.

8 Chapter 2 - Assembly and Leveling When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters) and the heat shield. In some cases if you have purchased a multi-fryer unit you may need to assemble the system. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION and ADJUSTMENT Installing the legs and leveling the fryer is done with two 7/16" wrenches and a large pair of Slip Lock pliers. The legs/casters must be installed to provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the burners. Attach the legs/casters by performing the following procedure. a. Lay the fryer on its back being careful not to damage the flue by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the fryer with cardboard or similar material when laying it down. b. Attach each leg/caster with the four 1/4-20 x 5/8" bolts supplied with the fryer. e. On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the front wheels. HEAT DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION You will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This label has instructions for positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions below to install the deflector. a. Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, rear of the fry tank. b. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the front of the fryer. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the sheet metal screws previously removed. Flue Heat Deflector Adjust Lock Adjust Fry Tank Fryer Back Unlock c. Mount the bolts from the inside of the fryer with the nut on the outside. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use lock washers. d. When all four legs/casters are mounted, stand the unit up being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg/ caster. Adjust the height and level the fryer by adjusting the leveling devices on the leg/caster with the water pump pliers. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion/ventilation or air openings around the fryer. Adequate clearance around the fryer is necessary for servicing and proper burner peration. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances specified in the installation instructions. In Out c. When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Nothing should block the flue opening as this will cause the fryer to overheat and produce dangerous gases. In Out BASKET LIFT ACCESS The basket lift mechanisms are installed at the factory and do not need adjustment. 2

9 ASSEMBLY OF MULTI FRYER SYSTEMS If you purchased a multi-fryer unit it could be shipped in more than one piece. There are five joining strips that need to be attached in the Rear, Front, Upper Front, and under the Front and Rear Leg/Caster Mounting Plates. To assemble the unit follow the instructions below. a. Unpack the units and move them close together. b. Remove the Front Panels and Burner Heat Shields from each fryer. c. Lay the fryers on their backs using cardboard or similar material to protect the surfaces. d. Remove the legs/casters and reattach them by placing the Joining Plates between the leg/caster and the frame of the fryers. e. Use the screws supplied with your system to attach the Front and Upper Front joining strips. Secure them tightly. f. Stand the fryer system up but do not allow too much weight to be placed on any one leg/caster. g. Attach the Rear joining strip the back of the fryer system using the supplied screws. h. Connect the Filter Return Piping and the Drain Manifold using the supplied parts. Copy the layout from the existing fryers. Use a little cooking oil to lubriacte the Orange gaskets before forcing them over the piping. i. Replace the Burner Heat Shields and Front Panels to complete the system assembly. 3

10 Chapter 3 - INSTALLATION Although it is possible for you to install and set up your new fryer, it is STRONGLY recommended that you have it done by qualified professionals. The professionals that install your new fryer will know the local building codes and ensure that your installation is safe. The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This restraint must prevent the fryer from movements that would splash hot liquids on personnel. This restraint may be any means (alcove installation, adequate ties, or battery installation). INSTALLATION CLEARANCES The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing and proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible and non-combustible construction. Combustible Non-Combustible Construction Construction Back 6" 6" Sides 6" 6" Floor 6" 6" (Needed for Combustion.) In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer operation, there must be at least 28 inches of isle space in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/module. GAS CONNECTION Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Codes. In Canada, install the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or.2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. Fuel Types - NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper combustion. If you need to convert the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer. Gas Line Connection - Connect the fryer to the gas supply line with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances (ANSI Z21.69-Latest Edition). If you are installing a fryer with casters use a quick disconnect refer to the Quick Disconnect installation instruction. Connect the gas line to the fryer using a pipe joint sealant that is resistant to Liquefied Petroleum. If the fryer was disconnected during the fuel line testing, use a solution of soap and water to leak test the new connection. NOTICE: NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may not allow the correct amount of gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooker performance. Quick Disconnect Gas Connection - Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A-Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the fryer on the back panel as shown in the illustration. The Quick Disconnect, Hose, and Restraining device can be obtained from your dealer. Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing - The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than (>)1/2 PSI (3.45 kpa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the gas line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSI (3.45 kpa), the fryer can be connected to the fryer but the unit's gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks when they are pressurized with a solution of soap and water. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION The electrical service (where applicable) used by the fryer must comply with local codes. If there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local codes. Wiring diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box. The basic power requirements for the fryer are shown below. Input Voltage 120 VAC, 60Hz 240 VAC, 50Hz Current per fryer 0.5 Amps 0.5 Amps Current per basket lift 1.8 Amps 1.0 Amps Filter System 7.0 Amps 4.0 Amps The fryer is equipped with an oil proof, three prong (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock hazard in the event of equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug. This plug must be plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. 4

11 Electrical System for Filter System - The UFM fryer has one power supply for the fryer controls and the filter module. When the fryer next to a Built In Filter has power, the filter is internally wired into the fryer. When the Fryer next to the Built-In filter system doesn't require power the Filter is supplied with its own power cord. All fryer must be grounded in accordance with local code; if no local code apply, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the Hood system. This will prevent the fryer from being operated without the Hood running. The UFM filter system also has a power cord which is plugged into the receptacle mounted on the right hand side on the inside of the fryer. VENTILATION and FIRE SYSTEMS Your new fryer must have the correct ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1200 F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. the table below provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. Topic Underwriters Laboratory National Fuel Gas Code Document Document Grease Extractor ANSI/UL 710-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 96-Latest Edition Ventilation Hood ANSI/UL 705-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 96-Latest Edition Filter Unit ANSI/UL 586-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 96-Latest Edition ANSI/UL 900-Latest Edition Types of Fire Extinguishers and Detection Equipment CO2 ANSI/UL 154-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 12-Latest Edition Dry Chemical ANSI/UL 299-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 17-Latest Edition Water ANSI/UL 626-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 13-Latest Edition Foam ANSI/NFPA 11-Latest Edition Sprinklers ANSI/UL 199-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 13-Latest Edition Smoke Detectors ANSI/UL 268-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 72B-Latest Edition Fire Detection ANSI/UL 521-Latest Edition ANSI/NFPA 72B-Latest Edition Thermostats Excessive ventilation causes Down Drafts, which will interfere with the pilot and main burner. Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood. CAUTION Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a Draft into the fryer's flue opening. Down Drafts will cause the fryer to exhaust improperly which will cause overheating resulting in possible permanent damage to the fryer. Damage caused by Down Drafts will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of exhaust gases exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put anything on top of the flue area. NOTICE: NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor temperature recovery, poor ignition, inefficient combustion and could extinguish the pilot. INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS After your fryer has been installed it needs to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed. These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. To perform these adjustment the following tools will be needed: Manometer (low pressure gauge) Digital Thermometer (Temperature probe) DC Millivolt Meter (0-1000mv) VISUAL CHECKS Before you begin filling and adjusting the fryer check the temperature bulbs (computer/high-limit), located in the fryer tank to ensure that the mounting screws are tight. Look down inside the fryer tanks to see the probes. Gas Line Requirements - A correctly installed gas supply system will deliver 7.0 ±2.0" w.c. natural gas (12.0 ±1.0" w.c. LP) to all appliances connected to the line, operating at full demand. Typically the input gas pressure will not fluctaute and more than 1/2" w.c. Do NOT exceed 13.5" w.c. pressure as damage may occur to the gas valve. Gas Pressure Adjustments - a. Ensure that the gas valve knob is in the OFF position. Remove the manifold pressure tap plug and connect an accurate pressure gauge (range of 0-16" w.c. in 0.1" increments) or manometer. b. Light the pilot burner for the unit being tested and adjust the thermostat to light the main burners. c. The installed pressure gauge reading should be the same, ±0.1", as that marked on the data plate inside the door. If the pressure is correct go to step e, if not, adjust the pressure. d. To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator adjustment screw cover (see the Gas Valve illustration.) Remove the cover cap. Use a flat tip screwdriver to adjust the screw until the correct pressure is reached. (clockwise will increase the pressure, counterclockwise will decrease the pressure.) e. When the pressure is correct, install the cover cap. f. Turn gas control valve knob to the OFF position. Remove the gauge/manometer and install the pressure tap plug using some liquid pipe sealant compound. 5

12 BURNER IGNITION SYSTEMS CAUTION Before going any further, fill the fryer with WATER. Water is used for the installation adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212 F (100 C) thereby allowing plenty of adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the MIN LEVEL mark on the rear of the tank. Never allow water to boil over onto any of the controls if they are mounted in the front panel. A B There are two basic types of pilotsystems: Standing, which must be manualy lit and Electronic Ignition, which lights itself. Determine which ignition system you have and refer to the directions below for that system. There is an open flame inside the fryer. The unit may get hot enough to set near by materials on fire. Keep the area around the fryer free from combustibles. Standing Pilot Lights: To light the pilot light follow the steps outlined below: Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot to allow for any gas in the fryer to dissipate. a. If the gas to the fryer is turned OFF turn it ON. b. Turn the Gas Valve Knob to the PILOT position and push the knob Inward. Pilot Flame Adjustment a. Locate the thermopile wires coming from the Gas Valve to the High Limit. b. Connect the negative (-) test probe to pilot bracket or pilot tubing. c. Connect the positive (+) test probe to to one of the High Limit terminal connection screws. d. When the pilot is running the output from the thermopile should be between 350 and 450 millivolts. If the reading is within this range, the test is complete. If the reading is above or below this range continue to the next step. e. Remove the pilot flame adjustment cover. Hold the knob in for approximately one minute to purge the air out of the line. Hold a flame to the Pilot Light until the pilot ignites. Once lit, hold the knob in for approximately one minute, to make sure the pilot is established, and then release. c. If the pilot goes out wait 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate and repeat step b. (If this is the first time the pilot has been lit try lighting the pilot several more times before assuming there is anything wrong.) d. Turn the Gas Valve Knob counterclockwise to the ON position. e. Refer to the OPERATING section of this manual for the instructions on how to operate the fryer. Pilot Flame Adjustment - This procedure is only necessary on the standard pilot systems. The pilot flame should be adjusted to produce the correct millivolt output from the thermopile. Example A illustrates a pilot flame size that is too small to produce sufficient millivolt output. Example B is the correct size for proper millivolt output. Gas Valve Showing Location of the Pressure Regulator and Pilot Adjustment Screw f. Rotate the adjusting screw to achieve a reading of 400 ±50 mv. (Clockwise lowers the flame and the millivolt output. Counterclockwise increases flame size and millivolt output.) NOTICE: Allow 3 to 5 minutes between flame adjustments to allow the reading to settle. g. Replace the pilot flame adjusting screw cover. Electronic Ignition Pilot Systems - There is nothing to manually light on the electronic ignition systems, simply follow the instructions for operating the machine and the pilot will auto- 6

13 matically ignite and extinguish. Electronic Ignition Pilot Flame Adjustment - The illustration of the Gas Valve shows the location of the Pilot Adjustment Screw. Follow these steps to check and adjust the pilot flame: a. Unplug the wire from the wire terminal at the Flame Sensor. Connect a DC microammeter between the flame sensor terminal and the end of the wire. b. If a current reading of microamps or greater is found this test is complete. If a reading below this level is found continue to the next step. c. Remove the cover screw to expose the pilot flame adjusting screw. Rotate the screw in the direction necessary to achieve a reading of microamps. (Clockwise lowers the flame and the current. Counterclockwise increases flame size and the current.) NOTICE: Allow 3 to 5 minutes between flame adjustments to allow the reading to settle. d. Once the pilot flame is set, replace the pilot flame adjusting screw cover and remove the ammeter. Make sure the wire is secure on the flame sensor terminal. MAIN BURNER SYSTEMS For the burners to work the gas supply valve must be open and the main power switch must be on. The main burner receives gas from the main gas supply through the thermostatically controlled valve. When the thermostat is turned up the gas control valve opens. The pilot will ignite the burners. On Electronic Ignition systems the Pilot will light automatically each time the thermostat calls for heat. Burner Adjustment - After the burner system is operating adjust the Air Collars to obtain a soft, steady blue flame that should enter the heat tube without touching the front of the fry tank. INITIAL CLEANING When the fryer is shipped, many of its parts are covered with a thin coat of Kosher Grade Peanut Oil for protection. Before the fryer is ready for cooking it must be cleaned. This will remove the oil coating and any foreign matter that may have accumulated during storage and shipment. Perform the cleaning as described below. a. Fill the tank with water and add one packet of Pitco fryer cleaner or a mild detergent. b. Turn the fryer on and set the thermostat to 200 F. (If the fryer is equipped with a computer the computer will automatically control the BOIL OUT temperature.) Allow the fryer to heat for 15 minutes. NOTICE: Do not leave the fryer unattended during cleaning. Never let the water level go below the "Min Level" mark on the back of the tank. c. Using the fryer cleaning brush, scrub the inside of the fryer to remove protective coating. d. When cleaning is complete, turn the fryer OFF and turn Gas Valve Knob to the PILOT position. If the fryer has Electronic Ignition turn the Gas Valve Knob to the OFF position. Drain the water into a container suitable for hot water and dispose of it in a responsible manner. e. When the tank has cooled, thoroughly rinse it with cool water. f. Using a clean dry cloth, wipe out all of the water. Remove ALL of the water from the Fry Tank. Any remaining water could cause hot oil to splatter out of the fryer when theoil reaches temperatures above 212 F/100 C. CAUTION Mild steel tanks must be wiped down/coated with cooking oil to keep the tank from forming surface rust. g. Now that the tank is clean, you are ready to fill and operate the fryer. Refer to the appropriate section in this manual for these instructions. THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION CHECK NOTICE: Thermostat calibration requires that the temperature of the fryer be raised above boiling. Therefore, you will need to fill the fry tank with oil. To perform the calibration check detailed below you will need a digital thermometer or a good quality grease thermometer. a. Place the tip of the thermometer in the oil approximately 1" above the temperature sensors. b. Set the thermostat at 325 F and wait for the temperature reading on the thermometer to rise. As the temperature rises toward 325 F watch the thermometer closely. c. The burners should turn off when the oil temperature reaches 325 F. If they DO NOT or they shut off below 325 F, remove the thermostat knob and adjust the calibration screw until they do. On older machines equipped with Solid State Thermostats the set screws that hold the thermostat knob in place can be loosened and the knob can be relocated on the shaft. Tighten the screws when finished. Do NOT exceed 13.5" w.c. pressure as damage may occur to the gas valve. 7

14 CAUTION If the burners do not turn off at the lowest thermostat setting, the thermostat could be defective. Contact your ASAP representative. d. Let the fryer cycle 4 to 6 times while checking the temperature. Compare the thermometer temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5 F apart, continue to calibrate the thermostat. Chapter 4: Operating Instructions This chapter describes how to operate your fryer to obtain the best performance. Included in this chapter are filling, operating, and cleaning instructions for gas fryers. FILLING THE FRYER Both liquid and solid shortening can be used in the fryer, but liquid is preferred. If solid shortening is used, it is recommended that you use the melt cycle feature (optional) to melt the shortening. Filling the Fryer With Liquid Shortening a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed. b. Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back of the tank. Filling the Fryer With Solid Shortening Never melt blocks of solid shortening on top of the burner tubes. This will cause a fire, and will void your warranty. a. Make sure the drain valve is completely closed. b. Remove the screen covering the tubes. c. Cut the shortening into cubes no larger than 1". ALWAYS pack the shortening below, between, and on top of the burner tubes. DO NOT leave any large air gaps. Use care when packing the solid shortening in the tank. DO NOT 8

15 bend or break the temperature sensor probes. If these are damaged the fryer will not function properly. d. Once the fryer is packed with shortening, the shortening must be melted. To melt the shortening refer to the Fryer Start-Up section for your fryer. MELTING SOLID SHORTENING Fryers equipped with a melt cycle feature will automatically melt the shortening. If your fryer does not have a melt cycle, follow the Manual Shortening Melting procedures. Automatic Shortening Melting On machines equipped with Computers or Digital Controls it is recommended that the melt cyle be programmed to be automatic. When these controls are programmed to perorm the melt cycle automaticaly they will exit the melt cycle automaticaly when a temperature of approximately 160 F is reached. Manual Shortening Melting NOTICE: The melting procedure below requires the manual cycling of the fryer. Watch carefully for smoke. If smoke is noticed, the shortening is scorching. To prevent this, decrease the time you leave the burners on. On machines equipped with an Electric or Manual thermostats start the machine as described in the operating section of this manual and turn the thermostat up to make the burners turn on for about 4 seconds. Then turn the thermostat down to make the burners turn off for about 30 seconds. After the shortening has melted and is in a fully liquid state the thermostat may be turn up to the cooking temperature. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS to the desired temperature setting. c. On fryers with Computers or Digital Controls, turn the fryer ON by pressing the OFF/ON/START switch to the START position and releasing. The heating light on display will come on. The heating light will cycle with the main burners. Product Selection Place the product in the fryer basket being used and press the numbered key for the product. Place the basket in the tank. Once pressed, the display on the computer console will change to show cooking time for the product. Automatic Basket Lifts (Optional) Before using the basket lifts, ensure that the oil/shortening is up to normal operating temperature. Pressing any of the timer keys on the control will cause the Basket Lift Arms to lower. When the time cycle is complete the BAsket Lift Arms will raise automaticaly. Fryer Shut Down There are two shutdown modes of fryer operation, STANDBY and COMPLETE. The standby mode removes the ability for the fryer's main burners to cycle. Complete shutdown turns off the gas supply to the fryer. Standby Shutdown Turn the thermostat to OFF. Depress and turn the gas valve clockwise to the PILOT position (if fryer has an Electronic Ignition turn the gas valve to the OFF position). Place the OFF/ON/START switch to the OFF position. The fryer is now in Standby and can remain this way for short periods of time ONLY. NEVER leave the fryer in standby overnight. NOTICE: When not in use the shortening should be cooled and covered to prevent contamination. CAUTION Do not attempt to move the fryer when it has hot liquid in it. Splashing hot liquids can cause severe burns. Water and oil/shortening DO NOT mix. Keep liquids away from hot oil/shortening. Dropping liquid frozen food into the hot oil/ shortening will cause violent boiling. Fryer Start Up DO NOT START FRYER WITHOUT FILLING WITH OIL! a. Light the pilot light as described in the Installation section of this manual. (if the machine is equipped with Electronic Ignition this step will be automatic.) b. Turn the thermostat control knob (located behind the door) Complete Shutdown To completely shut down the fryer, turn the gas valve counterclockwise to the OFF position and place OFF/ON/START switch to the OFF position. The fryer is now completely shut down and can be cleaned and filtered. Power Failure NOTICE: No Attempts should be made to operate the fryer during power outages. If power is removed from the fryer for any reason during operation, the unit will shutdown. Wait five minutes after power is restored before restarting the fryer. This will give any gas fumes in the burner time to disipate. To restart the unit, follow the Start-up procedure as you normally would. 9

16 Chapter 5 - THE INTELLIFRY COMPUTER This section describes how to program the Intellifry computer. The computer monitors and controls the entire operating cycle of both frying baskets. The controls on the left of the control panel are for the left fry basket, and the right basket is operated from the controls on the right. The illustration below shows the Intellifry Multi Product computer control panel. Your computer is fully programmable to satisfy all of your frying needs. To ensure proper product preparation, always refer to in house guidelines for cooking when changing the program. Each of the programmable features are described in the following paragraphs. NOTICE: When programming the features of the computer, programming information will be displayed in the corresponding display window except on the Model I8. Melt Cycle. The melt cycle of the fryer is used to soften and melt solid shortening. This is important to prevent scorching and extend the life of the shortening. During the melt cycle the heat is pulsed until the temperature of the shortening reaches 160 F. Once the temperature reaches 160 F the fryer switches to the constant (full) heat mode. The fryer comes from the factory with the melt cycle turned on. Cook Time. The cooking time for a product can be changed to meet the needs of any recipe. The time set for a product is the time necessary at the SET temperature to cook the product. The Intellifry computer will compensate for any change in the oil/ shortening temperature by increasing and decreasing the cooking time. For this reason, when a product is cooking the time displayed is elastic time, not actual time. When you put a product in the tank and start the timer, the oil/shortening temperature will drop. The computer senses this drop and extends the cook time to ensure that the product will receive the proper cooking time. Shake Time. An alarm will sound at a preset time to tell you to stir or shake the product. DO NOT lift the product out of the oil/ shortening. Temperature. The oil/shortening temperature for each fryer is set separately and maintained by the computer. Only one SET temperature is allowed in each computer, so products being cooked in the left side must be cooked at the same temperature as the right side. Boil. The Intellifry computer has a special boil mode program built into it. This program temperature cannot be reset. The boil mode will raise and hold the temperature of the fryer at 195 F. To enter the boil mode simply start the fryer as normal, the computer will sense that the water in the fry tank has reached 212 F and is not increasing. At this time the computer will display "BOIL" and lower the temperature to 195 F. The boil mode is exited by turning the fryer ON when there is oil in the fry tank. The computer will sense that the temperature has risen above 212 F and continue to het normally. Boil mode is used during weekly cleaning of the fryer described in the maintenance section of this manual. Computer or Probe Failure. If there is a probe(devise use for sensing the temperature of the oil in the fry tank) failure or a problem with the computer, temperature control will automatically transfer to the auxiliary thermostat. The transfer is controlled by the computer and a transfer relay. If, for any reason, the relay becomes de-energized, temperature control will transfer to the auxiliary thermostat. Once the problem has been corrected, (the computer senses that the problem has been corrected or the power is restored to the transfer relay) temperature control will transfer back to the computer. LEVEL 1 PROGRAMMING. Checking the Temperature Functions and Cooking Times. To check the ACTUAL temperature press the once. To check the SET temperature press the key two times. After 5 seconds the display will return to normal. To check the COOK, SHAKE and HOLD times press the followed by the product key you wish to check.

Pressing the key two times at any point during this proceedure will return you to the normal cook mode. LEVEL 2 PROGRAMMING There are several features that merit mention at this point. Their programming functions are explained along with their descriptions. To view the recovery test data press the key followed by any numbererd key to view the stored data. Each time the fryer heats through the temperature range of 250 F F it records (in seconds) the time it took and stores it as recovery data. This data can be recorded when the fryer is new and viewed again at a later date to see wether the fryer is performing correctly. To set the control mode press the key and use the key to toggle between the options. The computer may be set in a "CONTROL" mode for total computer control or in "TIMER" mode where the Auxiliary Thermostat will control the temperature of the oil and the computer will act as a timer. To exit the level 2 programming mode at any time press the key two times. This will return you to the normal cook mode. To enter the level 2 programming mode press the key followed by the key. If a password has been set you will be asked to enter it, if you do not remember what the password is use "6684". This will allow you to program these basic functions and reset the password. To choose between " F" or " C" press the key and use the key to toggle between the options. To set "PASSWORD REQUIRED" or "NO PASSWORD" press the key and use the key to toggle between the two options. To set a new password press the key and enter a four digit password.

The scoop section is narrow and will fit between the heat tubes to allow access into the bottom of the tank. This section describes the procedures used to filter fryers using either the UFM or built in filter units. The callouts in the figure point to the components discussed in the filter procedure. These component locations should be representative of either filter system. Frequent filtering of your oil/shortening will prolong the oil/shortening's usable life. Daily oil/shortening filtering is strongly recommended. At operating temperature the oil/shortening temperature will be greater than 300 F. Extreme care should be used when filtering operating temperature oil/shortening to avoid personal injury. GENERAL FILTER HINTS 1. Ensure that all oil in the filter pan is returned before it cools and hardens. This is very important if you are using solid shortening. 2. Always use Pitco Filter Powder for fastest filtrations, maximum labor saving, and cleanest/clearest oil/shortening possible. 3. The longevity of your oil is related to how clean you keep it. With a Pitco built in system, it is easy to do a quick drain/ refill anytime. By removing suspended particles often, it prevents them from burning. 13
